Custom Output for Base Properties using Formulas

[Heyyo]

Use case or problem

I’ve been trying to figure out if this is a feature or not but what I am requesting is a way to output custom text depending on wether a specific boolean is true

Proposed solution

Allowing for a formula function that is along the lines of print(string) or output(string) or something of the sort that when called will display the given string in the associated column

As of now my current work around is just seeing if a tag is present and using the default checkbox to show wether it is or not, but what I would like is to display a specific string depending on the tags that are present

Do you mean along the lines of:

To set the display depending on whether a note is or isn’t tagged with, say, #your-tag, you could use a formula like:

if(file.hasTag("#your-tag"), "Found one here! 👇", "nope")

Info about the if() formula in the docs.

Keep in mind to that if() can be used recursively. A note will typically have more than one tag. If the tages are mutually exclusive, say the name of a three projects, you can define a “project” column and list in the column the project for each note. You can now filter by project.

correction: the If() function can be nested.
